Restocked the new stuff? Wow! I'm with immeww2 in the observation that the Wal Marts in my area haven't gotten any of the new stuff either. Of the five stores I've routinely checked in the past 3 weeks, I've only seen restockings of the "Graff" ME-109G and "Eagleston" P-47s! One store way out in the boondogs did get the new RC vehicle repaints and Sahara figures, but nothing else new. Here's to another Wal Mart runhworth18 wrote:Local Walmart restocked the Sahl, Hackl 109s and AirForce 104.. Also heavily stocked with 1/144 tanks
21C WALMART UPDATE...POST FINDS HERE

Thanks Corpbob. Went to the Walmart you mentioned and saw the F-104. I already have one but felt good just actually seeing one on the shelves. (gives hope we'll see the repaints as well) I bought a few of the 1/32nd armored kits they had. Didnt see any 1:18 armor though.
Also saw the 1:18 skycaptain P-40 in a box that looked like it had been used as large hockey puck. Dont know what it is with this plane but everyone I've seen at any walmart always has a beat up box

Two were S1 paint and Three were 3 color camo (redbrown, tan and darkgreen. The thing is Two of them came without the Upper turret armor Somthing new or a mistake. No figures at this location

Razor, thanks for the heads up on those Hummvees. For $70 bucks I just had to have one. I can’t believe how stout it is. It actually has 4wd. What an awesome truck. It’s fast as well. My wife bought me a 1/6 rc radio shack Camaro for Christmas but I think this thing will blow its doors off.
I also saw one Me-109G-6 "Sahl" there as well as a black 109

Hackl 109G and sky captain P40 at Owasso OK. Regular price. Also saw about 10 CIA hueys and a winter stuka on the top shelf at the Siloam Springs AR WM today. Started to get the stuka down and get it if it wasn't busted but I was in a hurry and the hueys came up at full price so I figured the Stuka wasn't marked down either.

Linden NJ Wally has a bunch of 1/32 planes on clearance for $14.98
I see two 1/18 boxes up high, one Dodge 1 1/2 ton and the other RC Panzer. I pull them down and both have some chessey tanks in the boxes. Disappointed. but I check the price. The RC Panzer is $45 and the Dodge is $20. Nice prices if the product was in the boxes.
Five 1/9 Abrams in the clearance aisle, be still my heart until I find the clearance price is $199.99. One beat up broken box 1/6 Humvee with the same $199.99 price.
No goodies from Wally in the Northeast.

Sometimes I am the windshield, sometimes, I am the bug.
Saw the Walker Bulldog with what I guess is suposed to be an ARVN or MIKE force driver. He has the V.C. head sculpt with the boonie painted black and it looks like he had the 'Nam infantry man's body still with the screaming eagles patch on the shoulder. I've never seen this version before, the last ones I saw had the modern tanker figure, the tank still has U.S. markings on it. Does anyone know what accessories the newer driver comes with?

I've only visited a couple Wal Marts in my AO this week. Lots of 21c products, but nothing really new.
One store had restocked at least two caseloads of the BoB figure repaints that have been out for a while now. I bought a few more Germans and US figures and one just can't have enough and they make good custom fodder.
Another store was very well stocked with 21c items. These were mostly 32x items including the playsets, German & British figure packs, the IG 18 gun set and a few of the new 32x tanks. There was an abundance of the 1:144 tanks as well. There were also several 1:18 Hummers, and Dodge Command cars & trucks as well as 2 RC Panzer IVs. This store also had 6 1/9 scale M1 Abrams for $100 ea.
Both stores were well stocked with about 6 S1 "Herman Graf" ME-109G each. Kind of a bummer as the restock of those planes (which never sold well at Wal Marts in my AO in the first place) may prevent the new ME-109s and F-104s from showing up
